Over the next 3-4 weeks,
the Law Library Annex will be noisier than usual because of roof
replacement. Until 8 or 9 am each morning, there will be construction
noise as the roofers remove sections of the roof each day. It’s possible
that we will be able to hear footsteps and a generator running throughout
the day as the roofers add new sections of roofing. The contractor has
promised to keep smells to a minimum and has assured us that the roofing
materials are not a health hazard.

There’s never a good time for construction. Luckily, we were able to
negotiate a construction date for the start of this semester as opposed
to the start date during final exams that was originally proposed. We
appreciate your patience during the project.

Good Luck to Jeff Satterfield!

The
Law Library extends congratulations to Jeff Satterfield in the
Acquisitions Department on his January 31 retirement. Our very best
wishes,
Jeff - we will miss you!

MLK Holiday Hours

The Law Library's hours will vary from the regular schedule as follows:

Legislative Insight: Your New Best Friend for Legislative History Research

The
Law Library recently acquired a new database - Legislative
Insight (follow link, then choose the Law Library in the Select Account drop-down box).

If you dislike doing legislative history, then
Legislative Insight is your new best friend. This database
contains over 18,000 Federal legislative histories going back to 1929
and is continually updating its holdings. All you need to provide
is the bill number, popular name or keywords and Legislative Insight
will provide you with the full legislative history of a legislative
act. The legislative history includes links to PDF files of all of the
applicable bills, reports, committee prints, references in the
Congressional Record, and presidential signing statements.

Inclement Weather Policy

Whenever UGA closes for any emergency, such as inclement weather,
the Law Library will close. On weekends, the official policy of UGA
central administration is to permit individual units to decide whether
to close for inclement weather or other emergency situations. The
Director of the Law Library, in consultation with the Dean of the Law
School, decides whether to close the Law Library in such
circumstances.

App of the Week!

Each week this semester, the Law Library will provide an information card about a legal or productivity app.

Look for the display at Circulation and take one of the handy cards containing a nutshell description of the app.

Collect 'em all!
